Description

As of 8/15/2014 this program has been downloaded 2,500 times!

Allows domain administrators to take control of Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows XP computers without the user accepting the connection on the remote computer. User account controls will need to be disabled on Windows 7 and Windows 8.

You will need to download pstools and extract the PsExec.exe to the URA install path. I.e. C:\Program Files(x86)\Unattended Remote Assistance\

This program will only work if you are a domain administrator, have permission on your network to offer remote assistance and the default C$ share is setup on the remote computer.
You will need .NET Frameworks 4.0 Client.

It’s all wrapped up in a C# GUI interface, the autoit script is only launched once and msra.exe is automatically launched and connects. After you connect to the computer you have two minutes to click “Request Control” before the autoit script stops looking for it and closes. Once you connect to a computer the program will add that host name to a file so from that point on you no longer have to type the host name in, just select it from the drop down.

To connect to Windows XP machines this program replaces two htm files and adds the XP host name to a list inside the program. When you close the program the original htm files are copied back to all the XP machines in the list. If you connect to a XP machine and close the program and the XP machine can not be communicated with anymore (if it was shutdown or disconnected from the network) then of course the orginal htm files will not be copied back.

I make no guarantees or warrantys with this program. It works great on my network and should work on yours, if you have the permissions. Use it at your own risk…

Very Cool! Thanks for making this in a neat little, easy to use gui version.

No problem! I liked your version this makes it easier.

That’s a really cool peace of software. I’ve found it very useful and handy. Thank you!

Thank you Jag & Brent, this works very well with Windows 7.

have you any screen shots of it? a walk through ?

This is a very simple to use application. Just open it up and choose add computer from the drop down.

Hello, When i try this, the end user still has to accept my session?.. the ura.exe is being copied to the remote machine but that’s about it. Any idea what it can be ? uac is disabled, enterprise/domain admins are members of the remote assistance group on the remote machine, firewall disabled, local subnet. When i accept the session on the remote machine its working perfectly. The only thing is the acceptance is still there… thanks L

Is the uac.exe getting launched on the remote computer? Make sure you use psexec not paexec. I couldn’t get paexec to work.

Hi, When I click connect then offering remote assistance window comes up and after short time window pops up “Your offer to hlp could not be completed either remote assistance is undable to find the remote computer or you do not have permissions to connect to the remote permissions”. I am connecting through my admin account. any suggestion. thanks, stan

Sounds like you don’t have permission, are you on a domain? Is the “offer remote assistance” group policy enabled?

comes back as being a trojan , webroot reported it as having more than one virus packaged with it.

After 800 downloads you are the first person to say this. I can assure you there are no viruses, I build the program myself. Obviously webroot sucks.

hello! nice app! but it not work =) at least, with russian interface language. Can you create settings file, with varaible for window header? Thanx!

I switch to English interface and all work. But by default my users use russian( May be you can publish source AutoIt script? Thank you!

This my version of script. It after start wait for two minutes for Windows of RA, then it press OK and wait for a while for all windows of RA with accept (you can stop remote manage and start again). If you (or user) close RA windows - it stops. WinWait(“Windows Remote Assistance”, “Yes”, 120) WinActivate(“Windows Remote Assistance”, “Yes”) ControlClick(“Windows Remote Assistance”, “”, “[CLASS:Button; TEXT:Yes; INSTANCE:1]”) While 1 WinWait(“Windows Remote Assistance”, “Yes”, 5) WinActivate(“Windows Remote Assistance”, “Yes”) ControlClick(“Windows Remote Assistance”, “”, “[CLASS:Button; TEXT:Yes; INSTANCE:1]”) If Not ProcessExists(“msra.exe”) Then Exit WEnd And as I’ve created script for check remote pc for a lock, and if it locked - started mstsc instead of remote assist.

I didn’t program for Russian interface, you will need to create an auto it script with Russian code.

is there anyway open this program from a command prompt and have it connect to a pc that supplied in a peramiter?

Hi, i installed following instructions above and tried to connect to remote pc. The computer is added to list but nothing else happened. My network is all XP and 2003 server and I have a GPO that enable RA on clients. Any suggestion?

@Brad3733 Sorry I didn’t add any command line switches. I’m currently building another version, I’ll think about adding some. @PierPaolo6126 XP is the easiest ones to connect to, it just copies a couple htm files. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is after you created the GPO did you do a gpupdate on the clients?
